AIDAAS Poised to Outperform Existing Wireless Broadband Technologies

( 1 Jul 2008 )

Allied Digital Infonet Berhad has launched AIDAAS, or Advanced Information Delivery and Access Solutions, an innovative wireless broadband delivery system that completes existing technologies offering a broader range of applications with wider reach, capacity and speed. Jointly developed by Allied Digital and its Ukrainian partners who were also involved in the Sputnik program, AIDAAS is essentially DVB-S (digital video broadcast-satellite) transmitting terrestrially on lower power, making it environmentally safer than other existing technologies.

The AIDAAS transmitter (central station) transmits data within a radius of 40km with a capacity up to 2Gbps. It uses the KU band to transmit data terrestrially, where data from the network are transmitted from the central station to the receivers mounted on the customer premises at speeds of up to 30Mbps, and returns data to the network from the customer premise at speeds of up to 2.5Mbps. AIDAAS can add bandwidth to a network wirelessly, as well as add applications to a network's offering.

AIDAAS has the added advantage of Digital Broadcast. The central station also has a unique capability of increasing its power output to overcome interference by rain, but all within safety standards set by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
